Crysis 3

[Danny Nissan]

That looks way better than anything crysis 2 was

[KAC]

Actually, that looks a lot like Crysis 2 to be honest. Also, Crysis 2 was dope since you were a bad ass on crack with an infection going ape **** on gays in the park. Nothing like it and can't wait for some more of that

[Destroy]

Hope the PC version gets to wait 4 months again for a high res pack to come out.

[H001iGAN]

What high res pack, crysis 2 with high rez pack looks like ****, they might have called it high rez but included low rez textures inside.

[mavman]

Felt sick watching that. FOV is terrible.

[Mangler]

Good work guys, we can't have too many positive posts in a row on this forum.

we shouldn't have any

[Progression]

Also, if you gays (damn it KAC!) didn't know, this is the last Crysis as we know it.

[H001iGAN]

i wonder if the new consoles come out, the devs will make games with high rez textures or medium rez like crysis 2 hd texture pack

[Napoleonic]

they'll make games with even more camera dust effects and dof to blur everything into reality (yes this sentence doesn't make sense, it's deliberate )

dust effects is the new brown filter

Why is that? Any links?

From the get-go it was only supposed to be a trillogy. This is the third and final installment.

I am curious what other project Crytek is working on. Wht comes after Crysis? Will they become merely a engine company? Very interested not just in Crysis 3, but what will follow after it.

If the series makes money it will go forward. See Halo, etc.

[KAC]

I hope it is a decent conclusion and a longer SP this time. Last time it was less than 7 hours.

Seconded.

Next games in the series will be F2P.

[acroig]

Really?

[Mangler]

I'm sure that they'll change their minds if crysis 3 manages to get "aaa title" sales.

[KAC]

What is the benefit of F2P. I still don't understand that model of games since games typically don't last that long if they are F2P anyways. Right?

[Mangler]

People spend a stupid amount of cash on f2p games.

[Progression]

Really?

Yeah, the CEO said F2P was the "inevitable future."

Good read, thanks. What's you take on this:

“I wouldn’t name it Crysis 4 at this stage because it would be misleading,” he said. “We want to finalize Prophet’s story, and Crysis 4 would imply the story just moves on. But we are excited about the DNA of Crysis and of the franchise. There can be literally tons of titles out there within the franchise. Unlike Far Cry, this time around we feel very flexible about Crysis.”

There are quite a few f2p games that have lasted a very long time.

My guess is the franchise will branch out to different SKU (like mobile, f2p, and so on).

Thanks. I hope that means there can be a F2P and a new trilogy as well.

Hopefully, but the writing is on the wall for AAA titles. Only the biggest will survive the current model, according to speculations.

It lasted me a good 12 hours of gameplay time.

[Napoleonic]

EA is inherently stupid, if I were EA I would force crytek, dice and bioware to work together and create something awesome.

Videogame companies don't work like that. That would be suicide. You need a leader and a follower if you ever attempt to make a joint effort game. Crytek, Dice and Bioware are all leaders, they wouldn't play well with each other.

[nutcrackr]

well i bet they will barely listen to feedback on the c3 alpha. Imo they need to do a lot of changes in a few months and the reality of betas is that just never happens. Expect the mp to be forgotten 2 months after release.

F2P is not something I want to see more of in the industry, despite Tribes Ascend doing it fairly well. Things change for the worst in this industry

Yerli on Crysis 3's Superior Graphics

"Crysis 3 on PC is going to be a benchmark experience for at least two years. When I see what’s happening on the PC market, and even what we do. The PC market is not going to grow vastly more before a lot of games catch up. We had the same thing with the first Crysis on PC. When Crysis launched, it was the high-end benchmark for a good three years. I think Crysis 3 is going to do that again."

http://venturebeat.com/2012/12/14/cr...ars-interview/

Have we heard that before?

[icecold1983]

I disagree with that. Crysis 3 looks like a crysis 2 map pack

We are still waiting for Crysis 1 to look like Crysis 1.

So from what I gather, Crysis 3 will then be an unoptimized peice of ****, how's that different from Crysis 1 and 2?

[icecold1983]

Crysis 1 set visual benchmarks and was a good game, crysis 2 was a console port at hd resolutions

[Sundance Kid V2]

Crysis 2 was console port... a corridor shooter!

[KAC]

I don't think Crysis 2 was a corridor shooter unless you and I played a different game. It had multiple options to attack the same objective. Doesn't mean it was a corridor shooter. As for a console port, I don't know, there is no such thing as a PC only shooter nowadays (at least not one that I remember) so by this definition everything is a console port (which is not true). For example, Sleeping Dogs was developed for PC. Farcry 3 has sufficient options to qualify as a PC game. And heck even COD BLOPS 2 has enough options to make it look as good and play as good as it can on PC.

[icecold1983]

sleeping dogs ill give you, id disagree on the other 2. a console port can still be a good game of course, crysis 2 itself is just lousy tho.

None of those are PC games. ArmA2 (& upcoming 3) are PC games.

Crysis 1 was mind-blowing when I first played it. I think I had 2 8800GTS 640MB in SLI when it came out. To be honest, I'm looking forward to Metro 2033: Last Light more than I am Crysis 3.

I vividly recall playing Crysis 1. I had just purchased my present PSU, and two 640MB 8800GTS on launch day in anticipation of this game. Dropped over $1100 on the GPUs and about $200 for the PSU back then. Was also sporting an Opteron 185 at I believe 3.2GHz with the ASUS A8N32 SLi DLx mobo and 4GB of G.Skill RAM. Was such a fun game, and I was blown away by the visuals at the time.

I think I'm equally anticipating both games. Sadly I'm just not in a spot right now to purchase any game pre-release or for the launch price. Got far more importanting things to put my money towards, and $60 in the savings adds up. Look forward to playing them though.
